Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Don’t Repeat My Near Catastrophe
Every Certified Legal Nurse Consultant knows a laptop is not really a laptop. But sometimes a laptop isn’t even a laptop, it’s just a boat anchor. My new super-spiffy, NSA-grade, Cray UltraPricy came with two built-in hard drives. An SSD (solid state drive) and a regular spindle hard drive.
